My 1990 K5 is back at it again, the same problem as last time but now even worse. It wil only run for about 3-4 seconds if I pour fuel down the throttle body. Today, when I turned the key it was doing the same, cranking but it wouldn't run. What's going on with my engine? Should I junk the truck?

EDIT: 3:07 PM June June 18 I installed a new fuel filter and it's doing the exact same thing.

 

Anyone?

 

Well, I have to say goodbye to her, she's leaving tomorrow. Any last things I can do?

It was bad gas. I put in a new fuel filter and threw some drygas in the tank and it's been running great for 3 days now. Oil pressure is back and it's around 40-50 which is good for an old 350 ;]

 

glad to hear it was as simple fix!!!! sometimes those are the hardest ones to figure out honestly!

good job!!!!
